RE: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

I wish to formally acknowledge your letter
dated December 2, 2013 and other previous
correspondence similar to it.
You will recall that all the letters were
brought to me by hand. Although both of us
discussed some of the issues in those letters,
I had not, before now, seen the need for any
formal reply since, to me, they contained
advice from a former President to a serving
President. Obviously, you felt differently
because in your last letter, you complained
about my not acknowledging or replying your
previous letters.
It is with the greatest possible reluctance
that I now write this reply. I am most uneasy
about embarking on this unprecedented and
unconventional form of open communication
between me and a former leader of our
country because I know that there are more
acceptable and dignified means of doing so.
But I feel obliged to reply your letter for a
number of reasons: one, you formally
requested for a reply and not sending you one
will be interpreted as ignoring a former
President.
